In a world that is grappling with the disturbing reality of suicide rates among people who identify as "transgender," we must approach this topic without compromising the truth of God's Word. Although the world points fingers at the Church, particularly, conservative,...
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — In a move that has raised more than a few eyebrows in conservative, biblically-minded circles, Dr. Rex Horne has been appointed the new executive director of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention (ABSC). Dr. Horne has had a long-standing...

Tony Evans, a prominent Evangelical pastor with close ties to the Southern Baptist Convention, has been on a roll lately with aberrant theology and false teachings. Evans, who has now partnered with former Southern Baptist Convention president, Ed Litton, to push a...
It’s bad enough that Judaism is a false religion, a religion that denies Christ. John says in 1 John 2:22 that this is the antichrist. But what about an orthodox Jewish Rabbi who tells Christians that they shouldn’t just be worshiping one Jew—Jesus. But that they...
Okay, so this one isn't actually in the Bible. But since a disturbing number of professing believers think it is, we'll cover it anyway. The well-worn mantra, "Let go and let God"—a phrase often parroted in church Sunday School classes, book clubs, and social media...
Today, as we observe Columbus Day, we find an excellent moment to ponder on God's divine providence. Often overlooked in the midst of barbecues and discounted sales, the monumental voyage of Christopher Columbus in 1492 was no accident. From a biblical perspective,...
In Mark 9:42, Jesus Christ Himself delivers a sobering and forceful warning that should echo in the ears of anyone daring to distort the truths of Scripture: "Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great...

Welcome to a discussion that dives deep behind the fog machines, laser light spectacles, and thunderous sound systems, addressing not just one, but multiple elephants in the room. First, the theological disarray among a plethora of megachurch worship pastors—those...
Welcome to Part II of our series, "Untwisting the Bible," where we yank twisted Scriptures back into their rightful context. In today's spiritual battlefield of "gotcha" theology, few verses are weaponized as much as Matthew 7:1 and 7:5: "Judge not, that you be not...
